Then came winter's bitterness
Numbness swept down from the east The lost, cold and hungry gently collapse Into the endless fields of soft luminous white She sulks from the silver towers, she could save a life He says he hates us and he's afraid to try and I know why Trapped under winter's paw I'm the animal Frost invades and steals my breathing Distant dimples glut with glitter and comfortable Outside the wolves are waiting Don't trust man Don't trust girl Don't trust animals Trust in steel Don't stop moving Don't stop breathing She sulks from the silver towers, she could save a life He says he hates us and he's afraid to try and I know why When nature calls Eat the kill When nature calls Trust in steel Don't stop moving Don't stop breathing 02. Murder
The blood of this family mingles
With the clay in this stinking riverbed I tie the boy down and tear his mother's gown It's ok, she's already dead I'll sell the boy and the horses to the snake you cannot see I cut open the white man and take from his woman too If it were up to me all the white faces would bleed And bleed and bleed and bleed, it's truth Murder, it's murder Empty plains echo with empty screams There's a wagon on the highland Father and his girl, both are heading south I tie the boy and the horses Then I use the skills of the wolf I don't use a bullet, I get close enough that I can use my knife I cut open the white man and take from his woman too If it were up to me all the white faces would bleed Red it's a better colour, it's true Let the blood out, let it flow Cut the blood out, let it flow Kill the blood out, let it flow Let it flow, like a river Let it flow, like a river to the sea 03. The Startling Secret Of Super Sapphire
In down between the unseen
Secret room of wonder and despair Rusting and in disrepair Un-here and un-there Super Sapphire is smiling He's trapped in a room with three dying moons Pulsing bicep boom cracks wheels of worlds His not-skin cold black A deep blue space like waiting Violet lights collide then shimmer in his hair and eyes Not wounds never bleed the lights of whispered stars He's a shattering perfection Completely past detection His head is a comet's tail And his face is made of hearts Super Sapphire is smiling ...Still Super Sapphire is smiling I am locked in his black hole gaze... I eat moons But he eats days! Crashing, slamming, booming, dooming Eating worlds and consuming me Quonom eyes now back alive Teasing, learning blind Decamping his secret prison room He is loose! I was a fool Oh no! 04. The Beach
(Instrumental)
05. Face Of Bear
Winter's coming
Days die short at the end of autumn's reign Hunger becomes ravenous Hibernation never waits Soon the silent slumber For now October's feast Fearless and graceful Crashing through dead leaves Don't feed the bears or the bears will feed on you All the forest fauna Frozen feeling fear Flinching at the moment Face to face with face of bear All the forest creatures Vanish from sight Their betters come wither hungers That cannot be denied Soon the silent dreaming is coming Hunger's drumming Nights grow long Neither plant or beast have walls or doors To protect them from the greatest of the omnivores Towering over my head Terrible beauty Fuck I'm dead The hunger! Fall is falling, stars are conquering Dead branches soaked with rain Bear gut glut on critters Heavy eyes feeling weight Twilight sighs in animal eyes A new cycle will begin This winter when trees are white The fauna is free from him Don't feed the bears or the bears will feed on you I'll die with the honor I choose I will fight face of bear and lose Face to face with face of bear 06. Crickets
Crickets clicking in silence
Ticking making me feel empty Down to my very core Hiding in the silence Broadcasting a tiny little violence A clicking, ticking in the night that wasn't there before 07. New York City
Waking up in New York City
Dreaming about how it all began Bright lights, big city New Amsterdan and the Indians You called me in tears And it looks like rain I walk south To our playground Civilization's honeycomb Taxi! Taxi! Taxi! Warm and pungent seats take me across the bridge I can't be late I'm heavy with you through cold morning avenues Rushing with the rabble under gluttonous swelling skies I'll come to you Over clandestine sidewalks I'll come to you Crashing through dead leaves I'll come to you Counting cracks in the sidewalks I'll come to you Crashing And the crosswalks says stop But yet there you are Just a flicker of a picture Between the static of cars And it's a relief That these walls are so high Like arms that hold us together Waiting for a green light Go, go, go Stop! We embrace in the heart of our city On wet broken sidewalks, we're free 08. Sex Raptor
Your legs are sweet and look like ivory
I can smell them and taste them at the same time My mouth always waters with anticipation We're together and I'm alive Feel my teeth, they're long and hard The tips sharp enough to pierce your hide Now it's time to taste your flesh You gasp and whimper a silent cry Goodbye I prowl the room I prowl the room for something sweeter to consume It's not enough No, it's not enough My sweat starts to cover you And your body starts to shake No matter how much that you give I just want more to take It's natural I prowl the room I prowl the room for something fresh to consume I prowl the room I prowl the room for something sweeter something sweeter something sweeter It's not enough No, it's not enough My mouth has had it's fill of you I can taste you on my breath I give you one last kiss And it's the kiss of death It's not enough No, it's not enough 09. The Red Tornado
The red tornado
Circuitry and sympathy are two different things But they come together in a robot who dreams Round and round and round he goes Toaster for a body, tornado for a soul He's lightning in a bottle Tornado in a cage He sees no prison in the lines of his face Tornado! Ah! His emotions spin at destructive speeds That he's learning to control It's a cumulonimbus inside the machine He's half robot and half tornado So sad the cyborg cyclone seems drifting through the sky A willful wisp of machinery not born but devised Still the cyborg cyclone cries, coolant drips from his eyes Plastic hands on his heart that slowly tear him apart Tornado, tornado, tornado, go! Wild winds whip when he wishes that he were real He rarely rusts but he's never had a real meal By saving the world he's saving himself A machine that is selfish just like everyone else Tornado, tornado, tornado, go! 10. Crow Town
(Instrumental)
11. Treasure Train
Hang on, hang on, hang on
I took steps in this mission To take this tumultuous ride It's all right I'm the physician This medicine will keep me alive I wouldn't feel, I wouldn't look and i would rarely care But there's a small window at the end of this train I hear something out there I didn't know and I wouldn't try I didn't have the need The sound from the windows is becoming much clearer That window's a mirror I see myself I'm not alone on this train of jewels and gold Passengers and passerby Strange sparkles in their eyes Then black stars start boiling from my mouth I want to die On my knees i clutch my face Then glow and come alive There's lightning in my hair Thunder in my ears I go so far my head explodes I'm almost half way there Lightning in the sky Thunder of the train Diving into a bottomless rift Falling like rain Lightning in the sky Thunder in my room There's no flavor to memories And memories are moment's doom Hang on, hang on, hang on Onto the treasure train Valleys of sorrow and peaks of joy Across an empty plain The treasure On the treasure train We will never be the same On the treasure train I go so far my head explodes 12. His Purple Majesty
Purple or close to purple
Regardless it was soft and mushy She said she was so nervous When these situations arose She said she touched its skin And it felt like uncooked chicken But she wanted, but she needed Perfect sex in purple robes He said 'Hold my hand while I touch you' He said 'It will feel better that way' She said 'I'll do anything you say' 'This time it was different' She lost control He licks his lips and locks his eyes on what he likes the best And comes to her with swollen love And puts it on her chest His purple majesty She lets him inside Even though it feels wrong It was all the symptoms of love But bleeding a black horror "Nothing is worth it!" "Nothing is worth anything anymore!" Even though the stains are gone A choking gasp signaled a stinking eruption From her mouth and her throat, down her chin His purple majesty He licks his lips and locks his eyes On what he likes the best And comes to her with swollen love And shoves it up her ass His purple majesty 13. Kangarooster Meadows
On a warm summer day you'll find him there,
Relaxing in the shadows, Tapping his toe, Under a tree, Down in Kangarooster Meadows. K-A-N-garooster M-E-A-dows On a warm summer day you'll find him there, Relaxing in the shadows, Tapping his toe, Under a tree, Down in Kangarooster Meadows. 14. Rotting Horse

15. I Think We Are Both Suffering From The Same Crushing Metaphysical Crisis
Dilation of chronal aperture in 3, 2, 1
Activate Initiate instruments set to yesterday At the speed of light across empty plains of time On a ship of jewels and gold All of time unfolds A seven click blip For a fifteen eon trip Crafting deja vu Event horizon boom Days rescind and lapse Birth after death Tomorrow is the past Event horizon boom Cities shrink and fade into the ice age Dinosaurs now new Event horizon boom Time is broken! Time after time All these machines that dream Make me want to scream There's no bears or wild things The future's not what it seems Causality denied All of time is now mine The crisis we both share Is you are me when i was there Time after time It's almost time Time to say goodbye At the end of time 16. Lif
